One of my colleagues has a 14-year old daughter, and she has TikTok. It’s not uncommon for girls of her age to post stuff like “the right place for a hand during kissing”, and it’ll be a (subtle) reference to the throat.
There’s nothing wrong with consuming porn at that age per sè, but without good parental / sex ed guidance it shapes kids their concept of what “normal” sex is before they are given the chance to figure that out on their own.
- twiclo 3y agoThis is the argument that always bother me. It boils down to "Parents just need to parent heir kids." Look at the impossible task of raising a child who's brain isn't impacted by our pornified society today. Why do we think parents are on their own when it comes to keeping their kids from porn but are more than happy to help them keep their kids from cigarettes/alcohol?

Because those are physical goods that require a point of sale. Porn is available at a click’s notice, for free. You’ll never stop access to that, kids are much more clever than people give them credit for. So the logical step is to teach them how to manage that in a healthy way. Like, you can lock down all home PCs, filter your router, apply parental controls to their mobile phone, and they’ll just have their buddies send them obfuscated porn, or sneakernet it to them.
